To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM A. SELZER, of Milwaukee, in the county ofMilwaukee, and in the State of Wisconsin,have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Brushes; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention relates more particularly to stove-polishing brushes; andit consists in certain peculiarities of construction and combination ofparts, to be hereinafter described with reference to the accompanyingdrawing and subsequently claimed.

The drawing represents a perspective View of my device, and, referringthereto by letter, A designates a polishing-brush provided with a dauberB, and pivotally connected to the sides of the brush-back are theforward ends of arms 0, each of the latter beingangularly bent, as shownat b, to bring its rear end parallel to a handle D. The arms 0constitute a bail, and their rear ends 0 are secured to the handle D byscrews (1 or other suitable means. The rear end of the brush-back isprovided with a socket e, and the under side of the handle D is providedwith guide-rings f for a sliding bolt E, designed to engage said socket.When the dauber-B is to be employed, the boltE is engaged with thesocket e in the brush-back, and thus the brush and handle D are lockedtogether; but when the polishing portion of said brush is to be employedthe bolt is withdrawn, as shown in the drawing.
